Ills Brutal Murder by his Captors on the
 Scene of One of His Former


 Victories.
 The reports that Csjame had been
 shot in violation of the terms of bis sur.
 render, have been many and frequent
 but no confirmation of his death was
 received till late, for bad as Mexico is,
 careless ss she may be in the wanton
 sacrifice of human life, no ofiicial re-
 port Of Csiems's death has yet been
 made pubic. When crime is committed under the guise of public good" and is denied place Tn the official records Of the perpetrators 1t must indeed be black and damning,
 CeIeme was only sn Indian, but he was an educated man and unless repor; belle him, he stood Intellectually and
 physically. head and shoulders over his Mexican adyerssries. This how ever did not save him, but iu all probs- biity hasiened his death.
 At the head of his lily equipped peo- pie, he for two years, did victorious battle with the volunteer and national forces of Mexico. But in the end the battle was with the strong. Cajsme forces destitute Of ammunition, weakened by want and losses, were obliged Co disband and Csieme their heorIc leader, became an outlsw with price upon his head. The government of sonora had attempted to roo the YaquIs of their lands. CaJeme Tn councI!. advised re- sistence and for this the privacy Of his home was violated. the female members of his family were outraged by brutal soldieEy, his h0uses burnei. bis prop eriy destroyed or carried ofi-thIs called on him for revenge and with his own hand he Is said to have slain score of men. The end at length came, the tide of battle turned against him and he wss betrayed and shot.
 To gentleman recently returned | from the "Ysqui country" the CIrIzEy | and its readers are indebted for the fol- | lowing particulars m the closing scenes | of SonoTa's disgraceful tragedy.
 On the dispersion of Csjame's wal | riors he sought refuge ID tho house or @ | relative, resident ID the ont-kirts Of | GuGymss, and was here taken through | the treachery of one of hIs country wo- men. This womaI's brother had been | follower of Csjame. was taken pris. oner by the forces of General Martinez. | of the department, end was m common with others, sentenced to be shot. To save his life the sister sought Martinez and as bearer of good newsr prayed as IA boon the spEriIg Of Ter brothers life. Martinez or demanding of the woman what she knew tnRt would be of worth to him, was told of CBisme's hiding place. Hastily sum noning q posse of men he surrounded the hOuae. then alone boldly entered and met Ca Isme face tO face. If conditions were asked or promises made none but the ,hief actors in the drama can know, and as one has been murdered by the other there IS little probability ot the truth being told.
 It IS known however, that Cajame was given Q secret hearing before H tribunal, called together to coudemn, and the of death passed on him. or Ihis he was not informed, but iutuitive- y be knew his fate. Under the pTetext of allowing him to return to his own peo- pie, he under guard of IS men. left 8usymRs presumably for CocoTit. the ,hief town of the "Yaqui country" Before embarking however. some of his guards who appear to have had but little stomach for the work in hand. asked Ca anne why be dId not take along certain articles given him, Csjame replied what do I wsEt with them, I know what yOu are going 10 do with ne"
 Instead OtgoIuc tO Cocorit the party on the river bottom IS miles below the town and here in e deep wood, he scsEe of one of Ca sjeme's victories. the lellish deed was done. This was on the s3d of ApFil near II q. Tn. That Same ,yenIng CGjsFne's mutilatei body dang iDg across a mule; wEs taken tO Coco l 1t and surrendered to his people, who \ ith many walls md lamentations, gave [ decent burial
 At Jocori. II WAS reported that Csjeme lad been shot shot seven times and in addition to these wounds had received l
 fearful saber cu: across tho face. These statements later on were verified. or when on the sixth of May, our in- ormant en route 10 GuGymas, passed trough the hist ric spot, the hat of the murdered chieftaln WAS still to be seen. Bloody and gashed 1t hung by the way idle sod menentO of the brutality of IIs executioners. Possibly the blow that pnt his face; WAS struck by one of his owardly guards as Csieme stood help sss and bound before them.
